Pros

Nvidia really values it's employees and compensates them accordingly. I got very generous RSUs and ESPP discounts on Nvidia stock, which have made we wealthy in retirement. The company is the best-managed I ever worked for. Jensen Huang is a genius . His ability to play a long game by nurturing promising new technologies that other companies are ignoring (e.g. GPGPU/Cuda) has grown NVIDIA into the trillion-dollar company it is today.

Cons

None, really. Although in full disclosure, I should explain why I left. I had become a bit bored and burned out in my job -- doing basically the same thing for several years -- and wanted a change. I was unable to make an internal transition to any other group that interested me, so I took an opportunity elsewhere.

Pros

Technical excellence and engineering rigor – Working alongside some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Code reviews, architecture discussions, and performance optimization were taken seriously. Cutting-edge technology – Unparalleled exposure to GPUs, CUDA, AI infrastructure, and low-level systems programming. Truly a place where you can work on problems that define the next decade of computing. Impact – Your work ships in products used by millions of gamers, researchers, and data centers worldwide. That visibility is rare and rewarding. Leadership in AI/ML – NVIDIA is not just riding the AI wave; it’s enabling it. Being at the center of that as an engineer was professionally transformative. Compensation – Competitive salary + RSUs that have appreciated significantly over time. The financial upside for long-term employees has been substantial.

Cons

Internal mobility – Moving between teams (e.g., from automotive to gaming) was harder than promised. Managers sometimes blocked transfers.
